Thick Film Chip Resistors

Thick film chip resistors are an essential electronic component used in various
electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, and TVs. These resistors are
designed to control the flow of electricity in a circuit by detecting the
electrical signals and regulating the power to the components in the circuit.
Thick film chip resistors are widely used due to their high level of accuracy,
cost-effectiveness, and reliability.
The resistors are made up of a resistive layer on a ceramic substrate and
coated with conductive terminals at each end. The resistive layer can be made
of various materials such as ruthenium oxide, nickel-chromium, or copper oxide.
The substrate is usually made of aluminum oxide or silicon dioxide, which
provides the base for the resistor. The surface of the resistor is then covered
with a protective layer such as epoxy that separates it from the environment.
